The Union has recently appointed senior IPS officer, Mr. Anurag Garg, as the new Director General (DG) of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). This development took place after IPS S N Pradhan (1988 batch) retired in August, and IPS Anish Dayal Singh (who is also the DG of CRPF) took the additional charge.

Who Is IPS Anurag Garg?

Mr. Garg, a 1993 batch Indian Police Service officer from the Himachal Pradesh cadre, is presently posted as the Additional DG of the Border Security Force (BSF) at its headquarters. Earlier, he had been given a proforma promotion to the rank of DGP in Himachal Pradesh police.

After getting selected for the IPS in 1993, he got Himachal cadre. He started working as an ASP in Shimla and then became ADC to the Governor. He took charge of SP Bilaspur and Kullu Jiton. At the end of the year 2000, he was included in the important Kosovo Mission of the United Nations, where he was given the command of many important stations.

Upon returning to India, IPS Anurag Garg got a chance to work in CBI on a central posting, where he held important responsibilities of SP and Abhay of the Anti-Corruption Branch.
